From August 2025, the NDIS Worker Screening Check will replace police checks as a mandatory requirement for new independent support workers signing up to Mable.
This is to ensure our commitment to client safety and to keep up with increasing regulation in the industry.
The NDIS Worker Screening Check is valid for five years, and despite its name, is a standardised national assessment for workers who work with people with a disability or older Australians. This check is a highly recognised qualification in the Australian care industry; it is transferable, and is widely accepted by most care providers and businesses.
Existing independent support workers can continue to use the platform as per usual. However, from August 2025, once your current police check expires, you will be required to have an NDIS Worker Screening Check. We'll send you a reminder when your police check is expiring so you can plan ahead.
If your police check expires prior to August 2025, you will need to renew it via the Mable dashboard to continue working with clients on the platform.
Please note that this change impacts independent support workers who support people with a disability, and or, older people on Mable. For more information on the NDIS Worker Screening Check, visit the NDIS Commission website.
